I know. My father has a go at me for getting all jumpy but the last time a wasp came within a few metres I hyperventilated.

Buzz = bad.

So I take it you didn't watch the world cup then? :P

No. I did not.

A year 8 brought a vuvuzella into school one morning near the world cup kinda time.

I punched him.

If the answer to that is "no", did you proceed to beat him with his vuvuzella until the answer became "yes"?

On another note, apparently vuvuzellas have been banned from football matches in Europe.

I swear to God, I can't open a f***ing window without one of these damn things flying in and making a nuisance of themselves.
I think they came all the way from the US, or at least my town. Haven't seen much of them recently (rather odd).

Around here, most of them come from central and southern Connecticut. ;)

Did you know it is impossible for anyone from the UK to pronounce 'Connecticut' without sounding like an idiot?

No, He did not get up. One of his friends picked it up and was about to play it when I shouted at him "Blow that thing and I will drink your blood!".

Hence they believe I'm a vampire. I always think I'm a bloody short one, and I thought my skin was meant to be really pale and not a rosey tint of pink, but there you are.

Here's the trick... the second "c" is silent.

Didn't you live in Italy for a while? I thought that would be anathema to a vampire.

Anguilara Sabazia, yes. Apparently I had a habit of suddenly disappearing and then being discovered having eaten half a whole garlic.

Not particularly Vampiric :P Although I never tanned.

I read in the paper that someone brought a vuvuzella into Yankee Stadium, hidden in his shorts, security gave him a choice, give up the vuvuzella or leave.

Jesus Christ. This big fluttery black insect thing just flew in my window and started bouncing into everything in sight until it found its way back out the window. I think it was some sort of moth, but it was fucking massive!

First a plague of wasps, now giant moths are kamikaze-ing me. Should I be worried? :takecover:
